..and while I was gone (no, not some glamorous European tour, or even prison) I got me one of them Photobucket accounts.
So without any further (multi-tap) delay, here's some pics of my stuff.

| Good to see you back, Gordy, and all that lefty gear too. Is it just me, or does your desktop PC look like "Evil Bart"? |

Thanks 1BL, nice to be back and the place is looking good.
The PC is a bit embarrasing, that'll teach me to visit ebay when I'm drunk.
It's a Batman themed thing. Sad aint it. |

 , I've bought far worse on Fleeb when drunk - although I still think it's more of a "Bartman" theme. I'm shamefully inept at digital recording (real Stone Age era) but I twinkled at the sight of the R2R on the desk. |

| The R2R is a Revox B77 MK11 I got from a hospital radio station, it's my favourite piece of kit to be honest, digital is a fairly new domain for me and it takes a while to learn how to use it, but all my final mixes are put on the Revox before burning a disc. |

Both my recording bands used a local musician's co-operative and we recorded on a Fostex R8 R2R and mastered down to DAT. We got quite adept at recording drums (L+R), bass and guitars simultaneously, then adding vocals, b.vox and additional guitar on the remaining track space the next day before mastering. Studio (and spare) time was at a premium so this was a good way of getting about six tracks done in a weekend.
I suppose it must be easier nowadays with digital recording but I still like the semi-live approach. |
